Why Land Freight is the Best Option for Shipping in the USA

If you are looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to ship your goods across the country, you should consider land freight. Land freight, also known as road or truck transport, is the most widely used mode of transportation in the USA. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, land freight accounted for 71.4% of the total domestic freight tonnage in 2019

There are many benefits of choosing land freight over other modes of transportation, such as air, rail or sea. Here are some of them:

• Land freight is cheaper. Compared to air or sea freight, land freight has lower fuel costs, lower taxes and fees, and lower insurance premiums. You can save up to 50% on your shipping costs by opting for land freight.
• Land freight is flexible. Land freight can reach any destination that has a road network, which covers almost the entire USA. You can also customize your route, schedule and delivery options according to your needs and preferences. You can choose from different types of trucks, such as dry vans, flatbeds, refrigerated trucks or specialized trucks, depending on the nature and size of your cargo.
• Land freight is fast. Land freight can deliver your goods faster than rail or sea freight, especially for short and medium distances. You can also avoid delays caused by congestion at ports or airports, customs clearance or weather conditions. Land freight can deliver your goods door-to-door in a matter of days or even hours.
• Land freight is eco-friendly. Land freight has a lower carbon footprint than air or sea freight, as it emits less greenhouse gases per ton-mile of cargo. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, land freight accounted for only 23% of the total transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, while air and sea freight accounted for 9% and 3%, respectively.
